To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, G. F. GOE'IZE, of the city, county, aud'State of New York, have. in-

-\'en ted a new and Improved Compound for Petduced into molds and formed into articles of any desired shape, aud'which, after having been formed, will set in a short time and become petrified and capahleof resisting the influence of moisture.

In preparing my compound I use the various ingredients in about the following proportions: Paper-pulp,fiveparts; gluetive parts; turpentine, two parts; nil, two parts; flour. four parts; whiting to suit the article to be produced. The glue is first diss lved in water, and the solution is mixed with the flour, turpentine and oil, so as to form a thin paste. Into this paste the paper-pulp is introduced and the whole mass is intimately mixed, and after the paperpulp has becomethoroughly saturated with the paste 1 add a sutficient quantity of whiting to form a plastic mass, which is finally brought 1 into the required form by molds or by any other suitable means. After the'compound has been 'formed into articles of the desired shape said articles meters to dry, either inthtropen air,

or they maybe dried by artificial heat. 1

My compound is of particular value for statues or other ornaments, and when the same has dried it as hard as'stone and capable of resist Q ing the influence of moisture, so that articles ,made from the same can be exposed to the influence of the atmosphere without sustaining any injury. 4

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

Acompouud for petrified papier mach,'made of the ingredients herein specified, and mixed together substantiallyin the mannerand about in the proportion described.
